the least valued iv ever been - SOC Analyst bei Quorum Cyber: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Friendly colleagues and a modern office environment with good amenities. Suitable for those beginning a career in Cyber Security and looking to gain initial industry exposure.

Departments operated in a highly siloed manner, which at times felt at odds with messaging around end-to-end involvement and visibility across the investigation lifecycle. Progression opportunities felt limited, with little visible investment in staff development or structured career growth. Performance management appeared inconsistent, with workloads and expectations not always distributed evenly across teams. High-performing individuals often carried significant operational responsibility, while recognition and reward structures did not always appear aligned with contribution. Staff concerns regarding morale and retention were raised repeatedly, though action often felt reactive rather than proactive. A number of benefits and positive aspects of the SOC environment were gradually reduced over time, contributing to declining morale and increased staff turnover. Career progression and opportunities occasionally felt influenced by factors beyond performance and contribution.

The company used to stand by its "we fight bullies" in every aspect. Hiring, clients, attitude, everything. Until the CEO went on an all hands and basically said "its cute you want to apply this but I decide how it applies" and basically we never heard that tagline again. The few people who have been there a while are really good as they were hired under this tagline but those numbers are dwindling so fast under yearly redundancies. Some of the older clients who were sought after under the tagline were genuine joys to work with.

Not sure where to start. Its now so desperate to get America its embraced the toxic parts of Corp America and got almost all Americans at the c-level. The place used to work together to get the job done and learn from mistakes. Now, mistakes are a chance for somebody else to get recognition. This mindset is now across the whole company. As mentioned earlier, job security is less than solid. Despite c-level protesting, there are yearly redundancies which butchers all team morale and unity turning every position into a revolving door constantly in need of training which isn't available because most of the team is new themselves. Products are constantly changing yet somehow sales could never actually sell what we actually did so constant "high priority" work going on to try deliver something which the client realised we can't do, then leading to bad client interactions. Tldr, imagine corporate america and all its toxic parts...that's what this place has now become.
